A big thank you to Rowing Tasmania

The WOW group have well advanced plans for a St Ayles Skiff Regatta for the weekend following the Australian Wooden Boat Festival, as the readers of this column will know. What you may not know is that these plans were suddenly thrown into disarray because of a clash with a schools rowing event. Fortunately for us this event has been rescheduled. We know how busy the rowing calendar is, and this must have been a difficult change for Rowing Tasmania to make. All we can say to them is thank you. None of the compromises we could make to avoid this clash worked very well. We can now look forward to a really big festival weekend in which we hope the rowers will participate.
